Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for illuminating a material using an LED system, a processor for controlling the LED system and a positioning system for positioning the LED system in a spatial relationship with the material being illuminated. Furthermore, these methods and systems are available for producing certain color characteristics in an illuminated material or environment. These methods and systems can be applied to a plurality of materials, including biological entities. These methods and systems can be adapted for use in a medical applications, and are advantageously employed for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
